Failed to find library \"liblept172.dll\" for platform x64.

[hh23485]

I reinstalled the Visual Studio 2013, but I found that all the project throw the error
"Failed to find library "liblept172.dll" for platform x64." , including the sample project.
So I want to know how to deal with it .
I am sure the liblept172.dll is in the project debug or release folder

You'll need to install the VS 2015 runtime (see readme) for version 3.*.

Hi Charles
is there anyway of getting around this? I can't install anything on the server hosting my app as I don't have control of that server. what options would I have. You help is greatly appreciated.

[charlesw]

No there's no way around this. Tesseract is a native library, in this case
compiled by VS, and therefore requires the vs runtime to be installed and
the app must also be run with full trust.

If a different version of VS runtime is available on the server you may be
able to either compile Tesseract yourself targeting that version of the
runtime.

Thanks for you reply and advise. I managed to get the hosting company to install the 2015 runtime and my app is now working fine :) thanks again

Hi,
I have the same problem,but only on server. In local there is no problem with Tesseract 3, but when i publish my project on server and try to run it, server return this problem "Message :Failed to find library "liblept172.dll" for platform x86." and the ocr fail. With Tesseract2 the software work on server and local both, but Tesseract3 won't work on server. What type of fixes are needed? Thank's and sorry for the bad english

[charlesw]

Have you checked out the corresponding page on the wiki (https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract/wiki/Error-2)?

If it's working locally but not on the server I'd say it's Environment related rather
than an issue with your project. For server environments I'd make sure that:

1. VS 2015 Runtime is installed (x86 in this case).
2. That your app is running in full trust.

If this doesn't work then enable the Tesseract diagnostic source (see wiki) and check the windows event log for binding errors (see google :)). These should provide some clarity on exactly what is going on.

[simonedis90]

Thank's. I hope that will solve all problems

You need to install microsoft visual c ++ 2015 redistributable package (32-64 bit)

Unable to install 2015 when a later version is already installed

Because you have installed a higher version than 2015, you check the microsoft visual c ++ redistributable on the machine you have installed is how much version

I am facing the same problem with one of my coded ui project. it is giving below exception:

Inner Exception 1:
DllNotFoundException: Failed to find library "liblept171.dll" for platform x86.

I have visual c++ installed, both x86 and x64 folders are present in output directories. Still i am getting the this error message.

[buiko20]

I had the same issue. The dll file itself is located in the desired folder and the tesseract can find it.

The root of the problem is that tesseract cannot load liblept1753.dll or liblept172.dll. To load the dll tesseract uses kernel32.LoadLibrary which sets the error code 126 (0x7E) (ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND The specified module could not be found) and returns IntPtr.Zero and then throws DllNotFoundException.

Verify that you have c:\windows\system32\VCRUNTIME140.DLL and c:\windows\system32\VCRUNTIME140D.DLL. In my case, c:\windows\system32\VCRUNTIME140D.DLL was missing.
